Pray For Me

I guess my enemies thought they had the power to keep me down
But every breath I take, steady reclaiming my crown, you know
I'm a soar like a eagle through the sky
With the wind beneath my wings
And you can't clip these
Yeah, it get a little rough sometimes
But I'm surviving
Yeah, I'm still here
You feel me

Hopes denied, in the shadows I used to hide
A weary soul that's lost, an ego that's filled with pride
Heavy burdens on my soul with thoughts that I can't confide
Blunt after blunt, I be smoking to feel alive
Some days I feel I'm out, but I'm one of the best
All these whispers of doubt, never come to a rest
It's like the old me disappeared magically
Look in the mirror, don't even know who's looking back at me
You don't know what I'm feeling, ask my mom to pray for me
Cause my soul needs healing
I can teach you bout the struggle
Scraping up the leftovers from the pieces to your puzzle

You know I was once told
That in a world full of challenges and setbacks
Where adversity lurks at every turn
There exists a timeless virtue that ignites the human spirit
And that shit propels us towards extraordinary heights, right
So when the world tempts us to relinquish our dreams
We rise above and never give up

I admit, it's levels to this shit
My demons in my ear, telling me I should quit
Here's another bottle, just pop it and take a sip
But I'd rather hit the lab, start cooking and make a hit
Voices loud as thunder, I'm in a slumber
Devil got me by my legs, tryna pull me under
Thoughts be intoxicated, bad habits got to break it
This the last shot of the game, I got to make it
You don't know what I'm feeling, ask my mom to pray for me
Cause my soul needs healing
I can teach you bout the struggle
Scraping up the leftovers from the pieces to your puzzle

It's like, in a world where success is often
Portrayed as effortless and instantaneous
The significance of not giving up can't be overstated, right
It's the very essence of the human spirit that
Drives individuals to rise above challenges
Learn from their failures and persevere against all odds
Feel me

I admit, it's levels to this shit
My demons in my ear, telling me I should quit
